- Considering a move to Arkansas? The Natural State is full of mystery and has yet to be explored by many people.

In this video, I discuss the main things you should know when considering Moving to Arkansas in 2021!

Hi, I’m Nicole Nark, a full-time Realtor® at HomeWay Realty in Little Rock. I came to Little Rock with the love of my life, I am a proud Mom of two furbabies (Mini Schnauzer Mix and German Shepard), a Graduate of Communications from the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville and Honor Graduate of Arkansas Real Estate School in Little Rock.
I believe that home ownership lays the foundation for a life of financial security and freedom.
From building equity in a home, to the tax benefits it provides, buying a home is the most important financial decision most people make during their life. For this reason it is important to work with a professional who is committed to act as an advocate for you and your best interests.

15 acres on a mountain and built a cabin with no close neighbors. Retired and loving it.
So happy to hear that!
@@NicoleNark I guess his band doesn't live close by.
Awesome
Would love to experience life on the mountains someday,@steve

Just moved here in November from California! Hope this state never changes! We love it here! So if you are moving here don't bring the politics you are escaping from! This state is amazing the way it is! :)
I am so happy to hear you love it here!! ❤️😊
@@NicoleNark thanks! We just bought a house south of Dardanelle. We will be closing escrow in about a week :)
@@MiniAcresHomestead So Exciting!!
@@NicoleNark thanks! And awesome videos by the way! Keep it up!
I Loved This video, i m thinking to move Ak, actually live in Brazil and thanks by your video
From a native.. if you move here, it's because it not where you are moving from. So.. don't try to turn our state into the place you left. You left for a reason, leave that there. If what we have already isn't what you want, why are you here?
I’m glad I’m not moving to any state. Californians migrants get so much hate for driving up the cost in Idaho, Oregon, Texas, Nevada and Arizona. Some people just get so enticed to move to some other state where the cost of living is cheaper.
Amen!
People move for lots of different reasons. Not everyone is a refugee.
As someone who is also born and raised in Arkansas, I totally agree to a point. The point when I separate is that I believe what made Arkansas great before was our low populations numbers. The higher the populations get, the worse everything gets, whether these city slickers bring their problems with them or not.
We are over run in Idaho by those escaping the other areas.. so much that the average blue collar retiree (me) cant purchase land ect as the economy is so inflated by BIG money... and yes the local politics are leaning blue as opposed to the historical red..
I am excited to be moving back after 12 years. Coming home and bringing my family to see where I come from is very exciting!
It's changing fast the last few years.
Wonderful!
Lived in Arkansas my whole life. The buddy system runs strong here. It's not what you know but who you know.
Couldn't agree more!
I visited hot springs and greenwood a week ago and I met some of the most nicest people I ever met in my life . I definitely plan to look for a home there soon.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip!
Russellville is great too. I moved here 5 years ago. Never experienced a place that is so warm and inviting. Great community!
If you have kids dont do it education is the pits
I bought a large farm in north center Arkansas 1988 with plans to subdivide but I was able to keep it all, because of 8 gas wells. I too am a Real estate agent and made my Fortune in and around Branson Missouri. I am 71 and retired now.
Well explained! Thank you for this.
You're so welcome! 😊
First time watcher. My name is also Nicole. I used to live in California, Arizona, and Chicago...What you said about relationships being valued here is SOOO true. The folks here are beyond kind. I live in mid northern Arkansas. The retirement communities are really quite quaint and lovely. The scenery here is something of a pull for me. SOOO tired of xerescape. Cactus and palm trees no more.
Well Nicole, since we have the same name and have lived in 3 of the same states I think we are destined to be friends! Thanks so much for watching 😊
I had a visitor from Arkansas come over to my house and she was really friendly. I’m pretty sure people in Arkansas are gonna start blaming California migrants for driving up the cost of living in Arkansas when too many of them start moving there.
Finding this video and your channel literally feels like magic, we're first time buyers trying to buy a house in Arkansas in the next 6 months, brb while I watch all of your videos 👀 thank you!!
You are so sweet Shelby! I am happy to help 😊 if you want to chat more about your specific situation, I would love to! Just fill out my contact form and I'll be in touch! www.narkhomes.com/contact
@@victoriasorigin thank you so much!
I would rent first Hot springs goes though hard times a lot and the jobs keep disappear overnight, give yourself some time to see if you like it ,because my family lived there since 1836 and Hot springs can be up and down.
If you are not from arkansas you are consided a outsider. They will be nice to you but you will never be a arkansan .
@@Pattim4762 I lived in 6 other states before moving to Arkansas and have found it to be very welcoming
I'm moving back July 1st I was there 11 to 18 I cant wait to be back home my 3 sons are so excited
Moving to Hot Springs area next year. I would appreciate a pros and cons video, loving your videos btw!
I grew up there.
@King White Knight A city. Don't like cities much. The up side is the diamond lakes.
@@timesthree5757 is it really that bad crime there?
Hot springs is kinda ghetto
My husband is an otr trucker and happened to stay this past weekend in Hot Springs. He loved it so much and thinks it’s right up my alley. After doing some research and watching your vids, I have to agree! We’re born and raised Floridians and have been trying to find our way out for years. The heat is too oppressive and the amount of people pouring in is maddening. I will keep you in mind when we’re able to start planning.
I was born and raised here in Arkansas. I always said it is a beautiful state. Nice Job on the video...
Thanks 👍
I am getting ready to move to that beautiful state.
Can’t wait to visit Arkansas next week. Hope we love it and we can find a home with some land.
You will love it here!
I’m moving there on January 30th I’m nervous I’ve known Las Vegas all my life but I figured moving to Arkansas can give me a better chance at finding work and going back to school. I’m only 22 with a 3 year old so this should be great, but listening to you speak has given me a lot of hope that things will work out. ❤️
youll love it here ..you will be able to find a job here easy ..Good luck
@@franklange7692 thank you 🙏🏿 I appreciate the encouragement 😁
@@lovelylexi2357 your very welcome
The best decision you’ll ever make!! I hear,that Bentonville NWA it’s one of the best places to raise a family, Look it up
@@marthafitch4030 thank you so much ❤️
Moving to Cabot in the beginning of June! Renters, so still looking but excited!!!
So excited for you Crystal! 🎉
Just moved my family from Chicago to Arkansas (seems like we brought the cold, too!). We're building a home in rural Alexander, but currently renting in Maumelle. And I agree with everything you said, cheaper cost of living and slower lifestyle pace is the reason we left Chicago.
Welcome to Arkansas!
Lol yall did hit a bad winter for this area.
I'm actually looking at buying a house in Alexander now, how is it 10 months in?
@@johnnjen5118 I'm not much into politics so I'm not sure about that haha. But hey your state is beautiful, politics or not.
@@DaltonCollinson It's rural and not much going on. People are friendly which is nice. If you enjoy the quietness, affordability and rural life, you'll love it.
What are the laws on tiny homes in fayateville? i can't seem to get information.
As an Arkansan living in Little Rock, thank what you for your posivity about Arkansas.
Thanks for watching! I✨😊
I was just looking at Jobs in Little Rock. I currently live in New York working at a pharmacy. I don't see a lot of pharmacy jobs there. What type of work do people do there?
@@imxlr8r All types of jobs. Did you look at the hospital websites such as Baptist Health of Little Rock, UAMS, St. Vincent, etc. Google those hospitals and / or Little Rock Hospitals in the search engine to get a full listing then go to those hospital websites. I’ll be looking for a medical coding job soon in Little Rock. I currently work from home. Good luck in your search! 😀
I love Lonoke
Nicole, We've been looking at NWA as a place to move to. Lately we have been trying to find lots and land on which to build a log cabin in Arkansas with a river on it that we could fish from instead of driving all over the map. Do you have any links or knowledge about such property ?
Hi Bob! I can't think of any properties like this off the top of my head but I will keep an eye out!
I’m from Arkansas and i love it here
What places do you recommend?
Nicole I’m looking for land to put a mobile home on it. Where do I start?
Hi Nicole, I watched your 2020 video last year too. I'm finally heading out to Little Rock very soon, maybe within a month. 👍
That is so exciting! I would love to meet up when you are in town! If you're up for it, contact me here www.narkhomes.com/contact
new subscriber here. my aunt loved it in mountain home👍❤️
I'm originally from the LIttle Rock area and have lived in 7 states and Northwest Arkansas. I am currently on the central coast of California but will hopefully return to my home state in about 10 years. Love this channel.
Thank you so much for watching!
Anything is better than California
Mountain Home is a great area. Big enough to have almost everything you need but still small town and lots of land around it.
From Canada, We brought a 20 acres land and will start building our family dream home. As a Canadian I feel like our way of living is really well suited with Arkansas
Hello all quick ?? My family and I are moving to Arkansas from Ga, I would like to know where is it safe for kids/family and cheap homes to buy and things to do ??
Was there just last summer, praying to God moving to Arkansas is the right move for my family🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How exciting Marimar! What areas of Arkansas are you considering?
Bentoville, Roger or faytiville
I live in West Memphis. I wish I could've relocated to either Little Rock, Conway, Fort Smith, or Hot Springs years ago, but all in all, I'm content.😏
Our family have been considering a move from Texas to Arkansas.
Moving home to Fort Smith in a few weeks. When you live in a city like Dallas the thought of going home to the beauty and kindness of Arkansas is all I have thought of for years. Cannot wait to be home again
Welcome home!
Just pulled the trigger on 25 acres near Melbourne Ar. move in ready well maintained modular home with 6 out buildings. No relator involved easiest closing and cheapest ever (326.00). We have been going there off n on for 8 years so that really helped with finding the ideal location that checked all the boxes. Not sure how this ended up in my recommended box but it was a good upload with plenty of good info..
Good luck, lots of drugs
@@Pattim4762 Yep its endemic everywhere especially Florida
@@deepbludude4697 really in Florida too
this is January of 2022 and I looking moving to Arkansas this year... do u have any info on the area of Mountain View... I spent a week there in November and was offered a job... I be back in end of March for a meeting with people offering the job... any info would help and thanks...
I like how Arkansas has many lakes
I really like that too!
My Dad lives in Pine Bluff Ark. But I haven't been there in 25 years. The houses are so cheap I kinda want to buy one. Houses there 50K for 3 Bedrooms. I need to learn more about it.
Moving to scranton from california anything i should know about scranton?
Hi Nicole loved your videos very informative I am planning to move to Little Rock area.....how is the crime there & safer neighborhoods close to Little Rock
I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos! I live in Little Rock and would love to talk to you more about the area and surrounding cities! Please fill out my contact form so we can connect! www.narkhomes.com/contact
I’ve lived in Leawood (Midtown) for the past 10 years. I lived in the Quapaw Quarter (historic downtown) for the 4 years before that and Hillcrest for 4 hrs before that. Ive liked every neighborhood equally, but each in its own way. The worst crime I’ve personally experienced is having someone rifle through my unlocked car. One time someone took $10. I’ve always known all my neighbors by name and I have always been looked out for by my neighbors and I look out for them.
Only area worse than the little rock area is pine bluff. That said it's still nothing compared to other states. We have a terrible meth problem so there is that.
So it's hard to find a job as a person just moving to the state? Or what is your take on getting a job their as a newcomer?
Right now everyone is hiring. We have a big lumber mill in Russellville. They are a pretty good job and it is usually hard to get on there. I noticed the other day they have "now hiring " sign out front.
Highly likely our family is moving to AR in summer 2022 for a job relocation. Any family suburbs/towns you would recommend within 60 mins of russellville? Looking for a house with land but close enough to town life too. Thanks for the AR information from your video 😊
How exciting Jessica! There are many great cities around there. Feel free to contact me through this form on my website and we can chat more! www.narkhomes.com/contact
I feel like that should not be difficult to find a place very close to Russellville considering how small it is anyways.
Jessica...Pottsville is the hot ticket around Russellville because of one of the best schools in the state. But you have several good "bedroom" communities close by.
I'm from South Louisiana. Arkansas is a beautiful state and the people are very friendly, but that's a southern thing.
I would love to live in Arkansas. 💙
Yay Costco!! We in the Chicagoland area and have 3 Costcos within 30 minutes of us. I applied for the Life Works Here, so hopefully if I get it we'll be moving in June or July!
I love Costco!
Ive been shopping at Costco with my dad since I was 12. We used to shop at Price Club too before they merged with Costco.
Do you ever get used to the extreme heat and humidity?? Arkansas looks so nice but four months of Vietnam-type weather would be tuff !!
You do get use to it....but it is a killer.
Do you have any information on McHenry Estates? Does it allow horses?
I am quite familiar with McHenry Estates! All the homes sit on 5 acre lots but each lot is very sloped. I will check the bylaws to see if horses would be allowed but I am not sure how practical it would be to have horses in that community. The homes feel very tucked away from each other due to the wooded nature of the community which draws many people to it!
Hi Nicole, thanks for this video. I plan to move to the Little Rock (Sherwood, Conway, Cabot) area in June. I am a first time homebuyer and currently researching mortgage lenders in central Arkansas. Particularly, lenders that offer down payment and closing cost assistance. Hoping you can provide some info.
I saw your message! I will send you some resources 😊
Thinking about a move from Austin,Tx to Bentonville, but worried about taxes. I know Arkansas has an State income tax, do they get you on a bunch of other stuff too? And does the State provide value for the State income tax? Here in Texas we don’t have a State income tax, but they tax you for every other little thing. Wondering if it evens out between here and there once you take them all into account. 🤷♂️
Send me a message through my website narkhomes.com/contact I'm happy to discuss further!
@@NicoleNark stay in Austin. We have enough liberals already
Yes, I watched the last video in 2020. Glad you made this one. Im in texarkana now, but Fayeteville sounds great for my daughter and I. Yes, I would love to connect with you on another social platform. You can find me by my name as it appears here on TH-cam. Thank you very much and I am looking forward to connecting with you.
Do u have a video comparing all the states you’ve lived in? Pros and cons?
I'm getting ready to retire and I live in Texas.. I'm looking to check out Hot springs
People have to remember jobs in Hot springs don't pay a lot but if you want live a good clean life Hot springs is the way to go my family been living there since 1836 and lived off the land or were farmers, now all you can work for Walmart.
Every state that has low cost of living has lower paying jobs. There’s a few people from Texas who want to move to California for a higher paying job.
Is it true that theirs alot of tornados their?
I am planning on moving there in the next year or so. I’ve had a really hard time trying to find a realtor.
Hey Christine, if we haven't already connected, please fill out my contact form and I will help you out! narkhomes.com/contact/
@@tamicakenyon5934 did you move to Central AR (Little Rock area) or NW AR (Bentonville area)?
@@teamshyun702 north central. We own land in Bruno and also bought a land and house 5 miles outside of Harrison.
I live in north idaho. I'm trying to move somewhere my wife can breathe better and we can live our dream. This is looking really good and would love to chat with some one and get a little better understanding of the community weather and natural disasters. And work.
I don't want to discourage you. But we have a long allergy season and really bad humidity for about 4 months a year. Be glad to answer any questions.
Me and the wife is planning on moving their in June 2021 but not sure where to move. We are tired of the Texas DFW prices and really would love to find a place to build a career and find a forever home
I completely understand! I used to live in DFW myself and love that I am able to get more for my money in Arkansas! If you would like to chat with me more about moving to Arkansas, I am happy to help! Please fill out my form to get in touch 😊 www.narkhomes.com/contact
No way go to corpus Christi tx.
@@Pattim4762 Corpus is absolutely discusting... unfortunately it has become a city of drugs and many illegals. We lived there for about 2 years before finally getting out of that nasty place.
Plenty of great towns here. My grandmother lived in Hillsboro so I am familiar with your area and it is way to bust for me lol.
Can anyone tell me about ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY, LITTLEROCK...like Doing MS in CS.....
I loved visiting Hot Springs. We even found a bat cave!!
Hot Springs is a great spot!
@@NicoleNark not for long. 😤
Looking for 3/2 min 1500sq on several acres(as many as I can get) not close to other houses prefer water feature under 300 less than 1/2 hour from larger town. not in the flat pert (eastern Ark.)
Hello I'm going to be buying raw land on zillion amd have a few questions before i move put there were moving there cause my hubby's family is there
What about cost of living? I’m moving there the end of this summer
The cost of living in Arkansas is a night and day difference from California. We went from 2 full time incomes barely scraping by to one full time income and thriving in Arkansas.
Thank you Nicole Nark for the video... I am moving soon... where am I going I dont know, where am I headed I aint certain... possibly Arkansas.We are over run in Idaho by those escaping the other areas.. so much that the average blue collar retiree (me) cant purchase land ect as the economy is so inflated by BIG money... and yes the local politics are leaning blue as opposed to the historical red..
Nicole, we will see you soon
My daughter is getting ready to move to Little Rock for a job. She will rent an apartment for the first year. Any areas that she should consider, or areas she should avoid? Thanks!
North of I-630 or west of I-430 are the safer and better areas in Little Rock.
Chenal Neighborhood in West Little Rock is a great area to stay as well
Your opinion on retiring to Cabot please
Any good swimming holes? How’s the weather? Humid, snow?
Lots of good swimming holes. Humid during the summer. Usually one snow a year...roads almost always clear in a day or two. Overall mild winters.
@@shanekasper4587 thank you!
@@jenf7309 you bet!
I'm considering a move from Chicago to little Rock, but have recently read that the crime rate is not great. Obviously I want security for my family, but I don't want to lose out on some the city aspects that little rock has to offer. Are there safer neighborhoods within 40 min of little Rock or maybe even safe areas within the city limits? My family's safety is my number 1 priority especially having grown up in Chicago and knowing what crime rates can do to surrounding areas. Any guidance with this would be very much appreciated
Hey Sam! I would love to talk with you and discuss the area! Please use this form so we can connect! www.narkhomes.com/contact
You should visit idaho and see if that is the type of place you like to move to one day.
Stay in Chicago. Too violent here.
So many people from Chicago and CA! You'll move to areas and then prices will become unaffordable for everyone else. Stay where you are.
Your right. Stay in Illinois.
What city do you recommend in Arkansas if moving from California? Also An area that has good elementary school? Thank you!
rogers or fayetteville arkansas
Is there any outdoor concerts going on?
I do not know of any yet!
Depending on location you could probably catch an outdoor concert every weekend.
Been in Tucson for 30 years
Looking to move to the Ozarks area in 2021
Want to buy about 5 acres more off grid
Looking to build up from a Barn Cabin shed
If you could give me some tips. Would appreciate it
Looking at MTN Home. Or Mammoth Springs area
Thanks
Tips on real estate. I mean
Not mammoth springs and mountain home crime is growing
You should try around Ozark, ar too
I have family in Maumelle. I love this town!! Everyone knows who you are, and they are very friendly... I'll be coming from socal. .. I'm looking at apts. On maumelle Blvd, or a 2br with a 2car garage On Odom... I have a classic muscle car that needs one.
I'm on SDI, and I hope my check goes a lot further than in cail.?
Can I buy a house on SDI? And how much a year do I need to make to qualify?
Also, my Brother/sis n law are thinking of selling his business,
And buy a house on Lake Hamilton, Hot Springs..
Now, I just started looking on line for rentals in H.S.
But, I love maumelle and was hoping to live there with them and my 2 nephews...
Tell me what you think of these
2 towns, and the price difference
Between them (renting or buying).. thank you

I plan to retire or bulid a cabin in Mountain Home Ar. Baxter County area. I bought a piece of undeveloped property out there. Would you know anyone, who could survey & take pictues of the land, since I live out of state...someone inexpensive and trust worthy? Just thought I'd ask. Thank you.
I’d like to move in a mountain area and am considering a real estate license. Any recommendations for a good broker and area to start?
I am selling my 14.3 acres on top a mountain. We brought in electric and water. No septic. A 24 by 30 garage on a slab and plumbed for bathroom.
Crime is growing fast in mountain home now.
Anywhere but Arkansas
We will check out fayetteville this coming summer.
How exciting! Fayetteville is awesome 😊
Fayetteville is a great place. The U of A is there and the Walton Art Center. You’d probably pay less for a home in one of the several nearby small towns. Arkansas Children’s Hospital recently opened a satellite hospital in Springdale and Crystal Bridges Museum is in Bentonville. There’s a great trail system in the area. I highly recommend Northwest Arkansas.
Thanks Nancy ❤. My wife and I are planning to move out of Texas hopefully by 2022 either Fayetteville or Ashville NC
What about houses with 2 or even 3 car garages ?
There are many homes with 2-3 car garages! I just specifically mentioned the carports for extra clarity for people who come from states that do not have them! 😊
They would cost over 500,000,00 dolars
There is no "internet" in Arkansas. What I mean by that after moving from the Dallas are to the Little Rock area is that no businesses are listed on the internet, It is extremely hard to find services or public information so that I had to sign-up for the local newspaper or even revert to using a phonebook (something that died in the 90's). Also, there is no high speed internet in many places, so working from home is hard if you need high upload speeds. Also if you work there is income tax, so Arkansas is a great place to retire due to low property taxes but not a great place to work, unless it is in Texarkana which I understand has no income tax. Last of all many places still only use partial phone numbers - because the whole state is one area code versus multiple area codes just in DFW alone.
Arkansas has 3 area codes
479, 501, 870 are the area codes.
James, thanks for trying to keep people out of the state. I don't want it too crowded by the time I can move back.....lol
@@winchestermodel7044 I thought it was only 501, as no one uses the area code here, every business ad or business card leaves the area code off.
I have visited the area and it is very conservative and it does seem like time has stood still in some areas. Getting bored is one of my concerns.
A lot of people here are a lot older but I'm moving at age 21 and nervous about the cost of living, minimum wage and moving costs etc.
Do t move here
I've had a good finance and tech career, and an empting nester in the San Francisco Bay area. I'm eyeing NW Arkansas just because my friends are very fond of the place and insist that I visit. I may have to hide out in the Bahamas and New York for a bit, plus a year in Europe, Asia, and Hawaii before coming over to experience the small town friendliness. Hopefully at that point I would be treated decently, as opposed to being preached or judged for simply being from California.
My husband and I were literally talking about wanting to make the move from Louisiana to Arkansas today and I found this video. I grew up here in Louisiana and I feel like it’s a dead end state.
So glad you stumbled upon my video! 😊 If you have any addition questions about Arkansas, feel free to contact me here: narkhomes.com/contact/
I live in Louisiana also and I was wondering the same thing.
I live in Utah and am considering a change
Born and raised in Louisiana and moved to Arkansas. Miss Louisiana and should have gone to Texas or Idaho
@@Pattim4762 what was it that made you wish you moved somewhere else?
Moving there soon! I love that they dont force masks and are free loving people. I was near Bull Shoals just a few months ago and nobody makes you wear a mask if you dont want to wear one. That's the way it should be. If you want to protect yourself, its your right, but it shouldnt be forced on anybody. Thats not America. I got my property through Daraq.
wow..........did not expect to see you commenting on this......................
the ozarks is def based bro. people in little rock ,,,,,,,,they absolutely struck me............................with their true sincerity even in a big city .........it was crazy................. touched my heart bro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is so exciting! If you would like to talk more about areas and the move, feel free to contact me here narkhomes.com/contact/ 😊
Half state is kinda mountains the other half if farm land
I love it here......but there are some snags if u r not carefull
GO HOGGS GO
People are realistic here
Im moving timarrow
I grew up around white hall
I'm Japanese American, my family fought in WW2 and some of the most decorated war veterans in America.
I am also an Eagle Scout.
But I am scared to move here and I am serious. would I be safe? I visited Idaho with my ex a while back. I felt okay but their was some lowkey discrimination.
That kind of surprises me. I've lived in some really rural areas and also spent a bunch of time in Northern Idaho, and while you'll definitely have some discrimination against certain ethnicities/cultures/races in some of those areas (just being honest), I would have been surprised to see it against Japanese people. You just never see Japanese people in those super rural/white areas so I would suspect it's more curiosity and bewilderment than discrimination, and you never really see any negative stereotypes of Japanese in those areas.
Yep, same in Arkansas. Backstabbers too.
Some people in idaho are pretty racist towards California migrants and they like picking on them for driving up the cost of living.
Im an Arkansas native. I am white and my wife is Taiwanese and we have not had any problems. I feel that the south has gotten over racism while the rest-of the country is becoming more racist, just like how the old south used to be. I see more and more mixed race couples here in Arkansas.
Arkansas is great
Arkansas is my own land I've lived here since I was 0
Van buren ark is best
I love Arkansas
Looking around on redfin, I see that Arkansas has the cheapest per square ft prices than any other state.
That is often true! Although home prices are slowly going up, we are still one of the most affordable!
I’m moving to Conway in October.
How Exciting! Where are you moving from?
Moving in March!
Woohoo! So excited for you! 😊
My wife and I are heading to Clarksville in 2 months. I started reading on the crime and there’s a lot of it and being Hispanic I am worried of that crime affecting me now knowing the headquarters for the KKK is in Arkansas. Is safety an issue in Arkansas? My wife and I went to visit her parents out there and it’s BEAUTIFUL but I’m afraid for my safety.
Hi, my family is moving to Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville, or Fayetteville area. When we did our research we found out that NWA, was a very diverse place to live!👍 People from all over the states many from Cali! They have moved there.And when it comes to crime, and living expenses and outdoor activities, As many have said there’s no place like Northwest Arkansas. That’s why it’s called the Natural State. My husband and I are a mix race, I myself Latina, my husband, Italian Irish, and Scottish. No place is perfect but for those who are looking for paradise all these videos that I have came across on TH-cam from people who already move there, they talk about it like it is the place to move!!! So the say that it is the one place to raise a family for sure. I fallow this one TH-cam video her name is Christine Agustine, Who left California with her family to start a new life there I love her videos she explains everything in detail about everything you need to know she herself is Latina. Good luck with your new journey of moving to Clarksville, don’t forget to look into Bentonville and Fayetteville👍
Macias, through the 90's I lived in Missouri that's as close to AR as I wanted to be , today it's very easy to consider safe ,bare in mind " people suck everywhere " stay out of the bars ! And always watch your back. Just say'n
KKK is not there anymore a rumor. But there is a lot of drugs in North arkansas. Meth labs.
Yep, lot of backstabbers in Arkansas.
It sucks that some Hispanic people grow up in sketchy areas. There are lots of decent places in LA county.
Im from Sacramento CA but I’m moving to Fortsmith Arkansas in 2 weeks and from there moving to Fayetteville AR in a few months . just wanted to know if they’re LGBTQ friendly . I’m Native American but look Mexican , so I wanted to know if any racism I should be aware of , since I’m coming from a very diverse environment .
Hi, I’m new here. Please forgive my ignorance I’ve lived in NY state my whole life. I’m wondering about the acceptance of cultural diversity. I am very interested in relocating to Arkansas, but certain places in the south has a stigma of racism. Would you please speak about the culture of these places?
Tiny Eureka Springs has thriving artist and lgbtq population and it host the Passion Play theater about the life of Jesus. Small Hot Springs is also an interesting town to look up on google. I would say that as a whole Arkansas is a conservative state with distinct pockets of diversity. It transitions from the south to the midwest to the west, though most Arkansans would see themselves as southern.
Interested in this question as well.
@@ozarkmtnites Great information, Thanks 😊
Not much diversity. We have lived here for four months and have seen two black people. Little Rock suburbs have more diversity. It just seems that way everywhere though in the country. I don't think the people are racist though.
@@arkansasrob9745 we moved from Western NY to escape the politics there. Please don't judge us all we will be good to Arkansas. We we being eight children and conservative values.
I work at Costco and I have cousins asking me to move back there
I'm moving here for school in July .. How is the job ?
Doesn't pay very good and jobs are down because of the economy.
I love Costco and the food from the Costco food court. The combo pizza is my favorite.
Is Arkansas a good investor's market for rental properties?
It really depends on how you define a good rental market! Many of the rental investors here hold them long term. If you are looking for fast appreciation, Arkansas may not be the best choice
Thank you Nicole, good to know.
Would prefer Arkansas scenery to Nicole.
Yes but NW Arkansas I would guess has over a million people at this point and the traffic is about as bad as it gets.
Land in this area is very over priced as well.
Also no basements in Arkansas. That was another huge downside to moving here.
Seasons and outdoors are my reasons. Im from Louisiana and it's sucks.
AK is one of my options to immigrate from Japan for work in the future, and the low standard of living attracts me, as well as it may be the state where my Japanese wife can adopt to the climate because it almost has similarities with my current prefecture, Aichi....My first 4 options: Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota and Iowa.. AK, then Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Tennessee...
Japan's standard of living is becoming higher, as well as having a carbon neutral plans in the future where either factory work will be removed altogether or will raise our taxes and pensions to death, meaning me and my wife's combined salaries for today will be worth nothing..not to mention the mandates here is killing me emotionally..
Arkansas would love to have you! Looks like you have a lot of great states on your list!
@@NicoleNark As of now, still earning and researching what documents I needed, then next year start finding a job(mostly production types). About Arkansas, I hope the job I'll be able to find is in Little Rock, not just because of the standard of living, but as well as an the nearby Hot Springs has a church where me and my wife can go in the future every Sundays. Don't get me wrong, I love it here in Japan, but standard of living-wise, it's just can't recover well, unlike certain states there in the South and the Midwest.
I don’t really understand why some expats would choose to move to Japan when the cost of living is expensive.
@@legendaryTMNICO I didn't realized it at first, until just last year during the height of the CCPVirus here.....
Enjoy Alaska. Arkansas is Ar.
I heard there were lots of venomous spiders. Is that true?
To be honest, I am not sure what differentiates a venomous spider from a safe one. I have not personally seen any more spiders in Arkansas than I have in any other state I have lived.
yes Brown recluse...black widows. i think thats it ..but moth balls and pest control can keep them away ..
If you get some chickens, that will take care of that.i live in greers ferry ARKANSAS, love it so much
Arkansas has poison spiders,snakes,bears,black Panthers,mountain lions, I have seen them on our land.
Not a big problem.
Would love to connect with you... selling my home in N Colorado soon... visiting Ar this month- Jun 2021
